smokezilla- the size of the roast depends on how many people you plan on feeding. When I foil chukies, I do it when they have hit the 165° mark. If you like your roast on the well done side and you want to slice then, take them to an internal temp of 185° remove from the smoker and let rest for 15-20 minutes. Remove from the foil and slice. If you want to pull your chukies, take them to an internal temp of 200-205°,  let rest and then pull.

I was shooting for medium, would that be at 160 and if so should i foil before that temp

Dutch gave you good advice. I would not try medium as it is going to be tough. Follow his temp guildlines and you will be good

The size really doen't matter in this case and Dutch sure has sent you on the right track. So do just what he said and you'll be Golden.

Smokzilla- I do Chuckies to medium and even rare. The trick is to slice the meat thin when you serve it. I find it very tasty this way.
